This tutorial by techtipz.biz shows us how to install Nano/Pico on FreeBSD from the ports collection.

I’ve never got to grips with using ‘vi’ to edit files from the command line. So one of the first things I need to do is configure the nano/pico text editor so I can properly edit and save out files. Here’s a nice and simple howto get nano running on a FreeBSD server.

Sudo to root and then execute the following command:

cd /usr/ports/editors/nano && make install clean

Thats it.

If you have people who can’t stop themselves typing ‘pico’ to bring up the text editor then you can symlink to the new nano binary as follows:

FreeNAS community member DrKK created a tutorial on how to install Owncloud in FreeNAS. Click play below to learn:

This is an oft-requested tutorial from the FreeNAS community. We go through, stream of consciousness style, from a bare FreeNAS, and fully install and configure a working OwnCloud server. I also show the installation and setup of the client software in Windows. It is a long video–around 40 minutes–but I think is worth the investment of time. Those just wanting to learn how to install OwnCloud in FreeBSD itself, or lighttpd in FreeBSD itself, may also find the video useful.

Secure boot will be backed up by default in the upcoming FreeBSD 10.1 release, which is due to be built by the close of October.

As the FreeBSD’s 10.1 boot process is being under a steady progress development for more stability and security, Implementing UEFI booting is the first step on the road. Secure boot is a feature as called the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), the replacement of the old BIOS. Microsoft Win 8 was probably the first major OS to take extensive advantage of UEFI fully implementing it in October 2011, UEFI uses encrypted key exchanges to verify whether the operating system which was booting on given hardware was what it claimed to be.
